Court Intrigue Is No Match for Winning by Doing Things Differently

Though Bai Jingyin was delicate and beautiful, she was born with tremendous strength and was a peerless martial artist, the quintessential daughter of a military family. She was unbeatable in the capital.

General Bai was extremely proud: "My daughter is a skilled fighter. I'll send her to the emperor as his beloved concubine and have her protect the little brat!"

But on the very first day of the imperial selection, she accidentally beat someone to death and was thrown into the Cold Palace.

Bai Jingyin should have been weeping and fretting, but she simply couldn't bring herself to do it! Life in this ancient Cold Palace was just too good!

She had food and drink, people to wait on her, and could slip into men's clothes now and then to climb over the wall and spar with people outside...

She'd be happy to live there for the rest of her life.

The emperor: "Excellent, woman. You've successfully caught my attention. You'll attend me tonight!"
